The next days will be a bit busy. I will take part in the mammouth twin conference of the Society of Biblical Literature (SBL) and the American Academy of Religion (AAR).
I will give two papers, the first one will be part of the AAR panel ”Recognition, Religious Identities, and the Recognition-Failures of Theodicies”, organised by researchers of our centre Reason and Religious Recognition. The second paper is part of the SBL panel ”Religious World of Late Antiquity”, organised by Todd Berzon and Moulie Vidas.
Before the Boston conferences, next Thursday our Recognition team will be introducing its research themes at the University of Columbia.
